Study summary

The incidence of PED ranges from 2% to 50%, with a peak occurring 5-15 minutes after emergence from anesthesia. PED seriously endangers pediatric patient safety and impairs family experience. Early recognition can guide prophylactic interventions to reduce its incidence. This study aims to develop machine learning models with high accuracy and interpretability for personalized risk prediction, so as to improve perioperative safety and expand the application of artificial intelligence in pediatric anesthesia, thereby yielding substantial clinical and social benefits.

Study population

Eligible children were aged 3 to 12 years, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with ASA physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ, and had complete perioperative documentation including preoperative assessment, anesthesia records and PACU PAED scores.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:(1) Aged 3-12 years; (2) Elective surgery under general anesthesia; (3) Ⅰ-Ⅱ; (4) Complete perioperative records (preoperative assessment, anesthesia record, PAED scale score in PACU, etc.).

-

Exclusion Criteria:(1) History of severe neuropsychiatric disorders or cognitive impairment; (2) Unavailable data due to anesthesia-related or perioperative complications; (3) Missing key variables or refusal of data utilization; (4) Previous history of pediatric emergence delirium; (5) Other anesthetic complications.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

ASA physical status

The anaesthetists’ scale of health before surgery: I is healthy, II has a mild illness that is under control, III a severe one, IV a severe illness that is a constant threat to life. V and VI are used for the critically ill and for organ donors.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testAssessment of Pediatric Emergence Delirium

    Pediatric emergence delirium will be assessed using the PAED scale at scheduled time points after general anesthesia. The scale evaluation is performed by trained investigators to identify the incidence and severity of emergence delirium

06

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pediatric emergence delirium

    Time frame: Emergence delirium typically occurs 15-30 minutes after discontinuation of general anesthesia, with the latest onset up to 45 minutes. Assessment using the PAED scale will be performed at 15, 30 and 45 minutes after anesthesia cessation in PACU.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Feb 2026 to primary completion in Sep 2026, 7 months.

Of 180 non-industry observational studies under Emergence Delirium, half reached primary completion within 21 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's 7 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 180 studies reached it within 21 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
